  • a method for mounting a roof window a kit comprising a roof window and at least two flashing members, a flashing member, a roof window, and a roof structure with a roof window mounted therein
  • the present invention relates to a method for mounting a roof window in a roof structure inclined in a direction of inclination comprising the steps of: A) arranging at least a frame of the roof window with a top frame member and a bottom frame member extending horizontally and two side frame members extending in the direction of inclination, and so that a frame opening delimited by said frame members coincides with an opening in the roof structure; and B) arranging at least two flashing members, so that they extend along opposite sides of the opening in the roof structure with a first leg of each flashing member extending in a height direction away from the roof structure towards an exterior, with a second leg of each flashing member extending in a width direction along an exterior side of the roof structure, and with a length direction of each flashing member extending in parallel with the respective side of the opening in the roof structure, said length direction being perpendicular to the height direction and to the width direction, so that after completion of steps A) and B) the flashing members extend along respective frame members with the first legs extending along outer sides
  • an exterior is to be understood as the surroundings of the building covered by the roof structure and “an exterior side” as a side facing the exterior, i.e. facing away from the interior of the building.
  • an interior side is to be understood as a side facing the interior of the building.
  • the frame of the roof window When mounting a roof window in a roof structure inclined in a direction of inclination, the frame of the roof window is traditionally arranged in an opening in the roof structure, the frame is then secured to the roof structure by means of mounting brackets attached to the frame, and flashing members are then used for covering the joint between the frame and the roof structure. While this principle works very well, it is desired to improve the environmental impact of the roof window installation.
  • the flashing members may transfer loads from the roof window to the roof structure, thereby wholly or partially taking over the loadbearing function of the mounting brackets traditionally used.
  • the flashing members may provide a continuous support along the length of the respective frame members, whereas many traditional mounting brackets provide local support, for example by four separate mounting brackets being arranged one at each corner of the frame or two at each side frame member.
  • This in turn may allow the use of alternative materials in the manufacture of the frame, including the use of materials with better thermal insulating properties, thereby also potentially contributing to a lower energy consumption for heating or cooling of the building in which the roof window is installed.
  • reinforcement previously used in the frame such as metal inlays or corner inserts used for interconnecting extruded frame profiles, may no longer be necessary. Consequently, the carbon footprint of the roof window itself may also potentially be reduced.
  • the loadbearing capacity of the flashing member may help to stabilize the roof structure. This may entail reduced need for trimming when creating the opening in the roof structure for receiving the roof window(s).
  • the flashing member may need to be made from a different material than the sheet aluminium traditionally used for flashing members.
  • the flashing member is made from stainless steel.
  • Stainless steel provides both good weather resistance and a high loadbearing capacity and has a low thermal conductivity - less than one tenth of the thermal conductively of aluminium - which may be advantageous both in preventing heat-loss during cold weather and in protecting the roof window from overheating when the weather is warm. While stainless steel may have a higher carbon footprint than aluminium, the reduction in material consumption may more than compensate for that, resulting in a reduction of the carbon footprint of the installed roof window.
  • the thermal advantage of using stainless steel described above may in itself result in a reduced carbon footprint when seen over the lifetime of the installed roof window.
  • the flashing element is made from stainless sheet steel having a thickness of 0.50 mm by bending or roll forming. If a stronger flashing member is required, for example to carry the entire weight of a larger roof window, the stainless steel may have a thickness of 0.65 mm. The thickness should be kept at a minimum to keep the carbon footprint low, but in special cases, for example where the flashing member is to carry more than one roof window and where the roof structure is without trimming, a material thickness of up to 1 .5 mm may be used.
  • flashing members may made from different materials and/or having different material thickness and/or be provided with reinforcement, such as flanges or thickened sections.
  • the flashing members are arranged with their length directions extending in the direction of inclination of the roof structure.
  • the flashing members are side flashing members extending along the side frame members in the mounted state.
  • This embodiment may be advantageous for mounting centre-hung roof windows, where a sash carrying a pane is connected to the side frame members via hinges and where the side frame members will therefore be subject to relatively high loads.
  • the side frame members are usually longer than the top and bottom frame members and locking the side frame members to the flashings members attached to the roof structure may therefore provide a better support for the roof window.
  • a still further advantage of the flashing members being side flashing members apply when the roof window is mounted in a roof comprising laths for supporting a roofing material. In that case the side flashing members may extend over several laths and may even out a possible height difference of the laths by spanning over laths located deep and pressing down laths located high.
  • step A) is performed after step B), so that the flashing members are attached to the roof structure before mounting the frame of the roof window.
  • the flashing members which are comparatively easy to handle, can be securely attached to the roof structure before arranging the more bulky and typically also heavier frame.
  • step A) is performed after step B
  • the frame of the roof window is moved in the height direction during step A). This may for example involve moving the frame in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the roof structure, down between the flashing members, pressing the flashing members aside by bending their first legs. It may also be done by bringing the flashing locking section of one flashing member into a locking engagement with a frame locking section on one frame member, and then swinging the frame about the length axis of the one flashing member until the frame locking section of the opposite frame member comes into engagement with the flashing locking section of the other flashing member.
  • step A) is performed after step B
  • the frame of the roof window is moved in the length direction of the flashing members during step A). This may be done by displacing the frame in relation to the flashing members thereby sliding the frame locking sections into the flashing locking sections or vice versa.
  • the method may comprise bringing one flashing member into engagement with the frame of the roof window before steps A) and B), arranging the other flashing member to extend along a side of the opening in the roof structure before step A), and bringing the frame of the roof window into engagement with the other flashing member during step A). This may be done either by swinging or sliding the frame into place or by moving the frame in the width direction until it comes into engagement with the other flashing member.
  • a structurally simple way of establishing the locking engagement is to use a flashing locking section and a frame locking section which are embodied as a male part and a matching female part.
  • the locking engagement is established by such male and female parts snap-locking with each other during step C).
  • such male and female parts are brought into engagement by displacing the frame along the length direction of the flashing members, so that the male part is inserted into the female part by relative displacement in the length direction. It is presently considered advantageous that the flashing locking section constitutes the male part and that the frame locking section constitutes the female part.
  • the male and female parts may have substantially the same overall shape, such as the shape of the Greek letter omega or a dovetail shape, as this may result in a good and stabile engagement with a good load transfer capability. It is, however, also possible to match a larger and/or more open female shape with a smaller and/or differently shaped male part, such as for example a female part having a rectangular internal shape with an opening in one of the longer sides of the rectangle and a male part having a dovetail shape. This may facilitate the insertion of the male part into the female part and may contribute to a snap-locking function.
  • Using a male and female part as locking sections may have the advantage that the locking engagement between the frame members and the first legs of the flashing members may be achieved without the use of screws, which are traditionally used for attachment of mounting brackets to the frame. This means that the number of components necessary for the mounting of the roof window can be reduced, and since the frame members will not be penetrated there will be more design options with respect to the materials that can be used and their mutual position.
  • one of at least two possible locking engagements between flashing locking section and frame locking section is chosen during step C).
  • the two possible locking engagements may for example be achieved by one of the locking sections comprising two female part and the other of the locking sections comprising one male part.
  • the male part can then be inserted in one or the other of the female parts.
  • the two female parts may be located at different positions in the height direction so that the roof window can be arranged in different heights in relation to the roof structure, depending on which of the two female parts is chosen.
  • a similar effect may be achieved using three female parts and two male parts or other configurations allowing more than one mutual positioning.
  • Two or more male parts may provide a more stable locking engagement between the flashing locking section and the frame locking section as they will be better at hindering relative rotation about the length direction than a single male part.
  • Using more than one male part may also provide additional resistance against unintentional relative movement of the flashing member and the frame in the length direction and/or against disengagement of the flashing locking section and the frame locking section.
  • the attachment of the second leg of each flashing member to the roof structure may for example be achieved by passing screws, nails or like fasteners through one or more openings in the second leg and into one or more parts of the roof structure, such as one or more laths. It may then be advantageous to provide more openings at different positions, so that the installer can chose the one(s), which is/are most advantageous with respect to achieving a good attachment to the roof structure.
  • Such openings may for example be arranged in a line extending over the entire length of the second leg. Alternatively, groups of openings may be provided at intervals along the length of the second leg. Each opening or group of openings may constitute an attachment section of the flashing member.
  • the flashing member may comprise one or more flanges extending in the height direction and/or one or more flaps, which can be bent to extend in the height direction, said flanges and/or flaps being configured for engagement with the roof structure, so that they can serve as attachment sections.
  • Such flanges and/or flaps may for example come into engagement with laths of the roof structure, thereby preventing movement in the length direction of the flashing member.
  • the flashing member is a side flashing member, this may prevent the side flashing member from sliding in the direction of inclination of the roof structure.
  • Such a flange or flap may be provided with an opening for attachment to the roof structure using a screw, nail or like fastener.
  • the method may further comprise the steps of:
  • step B arranging one or more additional flashing member(s) so that it/they extend(s) between the two flashing members arranged in step B), and
  • the fixation of the additional flashing member(s) in relation to the roof structure may be achieved by attaching the additional flashing members directly to roof structure and/or by attaching them to another item attached to the roof structure, such as to the flashing members arranged in step B).
  • the flashing members arranged in step B) are side flashing members and the additional flashing members are a top flashing member and a bottom flashing member. In another embodiment, the flashing members arranged in step B) are a top flashing member and a bottom flashing member and the additional flashing members are side flashing members.
  • Fixation of the frame in the length direction may alternatively or additionally be achieved by the engagement between a flashing locking section and a frame locking section, for example be embodying these as local male and female parts such as a local circular projection engaging with a local circular depression.
  • the flashing locking section and the frame locking section are configured for allowing the frame to slide in between the flashing members as described above and then come into a snap-locking engagement when reaching its intended position.
  • This may for example by having a local male part on the frame member and by the flashing member being provided both with a first female part extending over the entire length and a second, slightly deeper and local female part at one end of the first female part. The male part may then travel along the first female part, while being slightly compressed or pressing the flashing member slightly aside, and then snap into the second female part at the end of the sliding movement.
  • the method may further comprise arranging an edge of an underroof of the roof structure or an underroof collar between the frame of the roof window and the flashing member.
  • the underroof or underroof collar may be simply sandwiched between the frame and the flashing member, but it is also possible to provide an attachment member configured for attaching the underroof or underroof collar to the flashing locking section or the frame locking section before engaging them.
  • the attachment member may either be a separate member or be provided on the underroof or underroof collar.
  • An example of an attachment member is a clip made of spring steel, configured for snapping into a female locking section or onto a male locking section.
  • the method may comprise arranging one or more insulating members between the frame of the roof window and the flashing member and/or between the roof structure and the flashing member.
  • One or more insulating members may be attached to the flashing members and mounted together with them.
  • an insulating member is attached to the second leg at the interior side, filling a space between the frame and roof structure in the mounted state.
  • the insulating member may contribute to the loadbearing capacity of the flashing members by providing strength and/or stiffness.
